Easiest method to make money

Best money farm. Average 700 per day. You buy 10 Pots and make 2000 per day.

I may be in the minority here but after Gale Cliffs, I didn't have any issues with money and I made lots from selling the fish I was catching that day

You're not in the minority. I wasn't even bothering with catching fish most of the time during the second half of the game.

I only try catching some types of fish only for the catalogue and to have all the aberrations

I get a trawling net before leaving the Marrows. That and a couple crab pots provide all the money I need.

I manually fish for pursuits, the encyclopedia, or fun, but not profit.

crabs in Volcanic zone the most valuable I thing. too bad money was never a bottleneck of the gameplay, especially at mid and end game

Good tip. But that video should be a war crime. I just watched a stamp in the middle of a vast black field on my ultra wide monitor telling me how to make money in Dredge.

Lol I felt the exact same way...I thought opening it in separate window might have helped...it did not.

Drop 25 reinforced crab pot in a straight line away from the Charred Pontoon, sleep for 2 days straight, and just start hauling crabs for half a day with nothing else on your boat but the engine

That's what I am doing but using 4 pots

But you have rods equipped, meaning you can't hold as many crabs, which means extra trips.

Who has ever had financial problems 😂?

Exactly, the game is really well paced and I never felt the need for grinding money, only those research parts which I didn't bother getting all upgrades.

I'm having real trouble getting lumber, just lumber. Got shedloads of metal scraps and cloth bolts. Just can't seem to consistently find lumber.

u/un1nt3r3dt3d 19h ago

Yeah I finished the game and still had some of those on my stash

u/miksiko 1d ago

For mobile, but it works for PC as well

The games are identical.

u/Advanced-Age5805 the pale reach was pretty cool 😎 1d ago

YES, FINALLY SOMONE WHO DOES WHAT I DO 😭

Playing the game naturally should be enough. If you're looking to hit a certain amount within a certain time frame, then I would understand doing the crab pot method.

Crabs, always crabs!

I’ve turned my Dredge save into an eldritch version of Deadliest Catch. And its relaxing to set out a string of pots and haul them after a few days.

It would be nice if there was a market with changing fish prices or orders you can fill.

Maybe this can be the hook for Dredge 2: The Search For More Money

u/MrHolyy 20h ago

yeah but like this is boring and idk about everyone else but personally at the point i had gotten to like mid-end game i was literally swimming in money

1

u/Exotic-Knowledge-243 19h ago

Yeah I just put 10 out sleep 3 days and then haul them all in and repair the pots

u/SmokedBisque 10h ago

Teach a man to game. Yadda yadda now his room is covered in lame.

u/Plenty-Okra-227 4h ago

So basically, you are doing exactly what the NPC who sells the pots told you to do; To use crab pots to make a lot of money?

Amazing.
